Abstract

In one embodiment, a retail display includes a first box having walls that define a first interior compartment. The walls include a top wall that is formed of a transparent material to permit viewing of the first interior compartment. The display also includes an inner box that is open along a top thereof and is disposed within the first interior compartment. The inner box partitions the interior compartment into a first section and a second section where the inner box is disposed. The inner box has a second interior compartment. The retail display includes a first article of clothing disposed within the first section, wherein the degree of movement of the first article of clothing is limited by walls of the first box and the vertical side wall of the inner box. A second article of clothing is disposed within the second interior compartment of the inner box. An aperture is formed in the top wall of the first box and positioned so that it extends across the vertical side wall of the inner box and allows access to both the first and second interior compartments to permit contact with both the first and second articles of clothing.

 a first tie disposed within the second interior compartment with a portion thereof extending through the first slit so that a pointed end of the first tie is disposed across a top surface of the cover for display thereof, the pointed end being spaced from the second slit; and 
 a second tie disposed within the second interior compartment with a portion thereof extending through the second slit so that a pointed end of the second tie is disposed across a top surface of the cover for display thereof, the pointed end of the second tie being spaced from one end of the inner box; 
 wherein the first and second ties are spaced from one another along the top surface of the cover; however, are intertwined and folded together underneath the top cover within the second compartment. 
 
     
     
       2. The retail display of  claim 1 , wherein the first tie is folded on top of itself and the second tie is folded on top of itself and at least a portion of a folded part of the first tie is folded about at least a portion of a folded part of the second tie.
